2 Part event. Separate post for early dinner (optional) in Hollywood. We will beat the crowds and dine at Hollywood’s most legendary restaurant Musso & Frank’s Grill.

I ❤️LA!! There’s so many wonderful festivities during the holidays! I went last year to the parade and had so much fun!! We went early to eat first and got lucky and found parking right away. If you live near a Metro station that’s ideal.

Join us at the 91st Anniverssry of the world famous Hollywood Parade!

The legacy of the parade dates back to 1928 when merchants transformed a one-mile stretch of Hollywood Boulevard into "Santa Claus Lane" to boost shopping. Part of the promotion was a daily parade featuring Santa Claus and a film star. Over the years the parade has evolved into a true Hollywood spectacle!

History of the parade

WHERE:
From the Heart of Hollywood! Starting on Hollywood Blvd. at Orange Drive the U-shaped parade route will travel east to Vine, south on Vine St to Sunset Blvd. and west on Sunset Blvd. back to Orange Drive.

PARKING INFO:
Parking is always a premium in Hollywood. One of the best places to park is the Hollywood/Highland shopping complex. There are other public lots. There is a charge to park at these locations so please contact these individual lots for parking fees and come early to avoid the traffic and possible street and ramp closures. Also be aware of postings on streets that will be designated “NO PARKING” for the parade!

TRANSPORTATION:
One of the easiest ways to get to the parade via Metro Red Line to Hollywood/Vine or Hollywood/Highland. Both stations get you directly onto the parade route.
